Kaadi Igbe Ayo a deceit, says Ondo ACN

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ondo State yesterday said the Kaadi Igbe Ayo inaugurated by the state government is a deceit.

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Agbede, ACN said: “At a time when the government cannot pay its workers and is laying off thousands of civil servants, this extraordinary display of financial recklessness is nothing but an act of insensitivity to the plight of the poor in the society.

“This showiness at the detriment of the common people is not expected from a government that claims to be working for the people.

“The state is challenged with a leadership that lacks the capacity to deliver and engages in frivolities.

“This card project is certainly another chapter in a series of absurdities of this clueless administration.

“What is the usefulness of a card that captures the data of only people of voting age, if not for the dual purposes of draining the state’s resources and creating a data base for the injection of ghost voters into the voter’ register as revealed at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

“The inauguration of the card and its attendant fanfare is an attempt to cover their tracks and divert the attention of the people from the original reason behind the project.

“We are consoled by the fact that the reign of the Labour Party (LP) is a passing phase and would soon be consigned to the dustbin of history to pave way for a new government devoid of vices in the interest of the common man.”
